Came up to the top of Sulphur Mountain to clear skies, loads of Asian tourists and beautiful views all around. Banff National Park is breathtakingly beautiful. I’m actually here to see the screening of Chris Eyre-Walker’s film ‘Dreamwalkers-The Faroes Project’ at the Banff Mountain Film Festival screening for the first time this evening. Really excited to see what the sold out, almost 1000 seat, cinema will bring as reaction.

This weekend we are up in Antwerp to visit Ria’s father and friends. What better reason to spend the night at Biesbosch Nature Reserve and see some of the migratory birds on their way to better weather for the winter

This is just a part of the huge flood protection scheme the Dutch built to protect the east polders from a catastrophic flood like the one in 1958. Ria’s uncle Frans lost his leg and several people died during the construction.

This has to be quite the longest bridge I have ever crossed on a bike. We are in Oostkapelle for the long 1st November weekend. Yesterday 20km hike and today 80km road biking. Zeeland is known for its wind, but we have had no wind, sun and calm seas.
